Inc. is one of my favorite magazines. It has good, practical information for the entrepreneur and small business owner, as well as anyone who is interested in business. Unlike other business magazines that contain articles that are long and ponderous, Inc. doesn't waste your time with tedium.

Its sister publication, Fast Company, is also good.

Two reviewers gave this magazine low ratings because they hadn't received their first issue after 4 weeks. Look, it CLEARLY states: "Availability: The first issue should arrive in 6-10 weeks." That means the first issue should arrive between 1½ and 2½ months after the order is placed. It hurts to see a great magazine get a lower rating than it deserves because some people either can't read or can't do math.

Used to be excellent magazine with practical advice.

More and more of the content is now fluffy dream stuff.

The businesses they feature are now almost all ones that depend on fashion and customer whim - cupcakes, T-shirts, micro-breweries - not sustainable businesses.

Good columns are gone. The one good column left is by the wife of the man who built Stonyfield Farm yogurt - about how entrepreneurship affects your family.

I like this magazine because it's just right for a business owner who runs almost any kind or size of business.
It's not focused on one set of things like technology even though it does have technological tips. It's not a magazine trying to sell you other businesses. It actually gives you sound and productive advice. It gives you ideas that are applicable in the real world and on the forefront so you can be ahead of your competitors. The language is practical enough to be understood by beginning business owners and those who have plenty of experience in the business world. I've tried other business magazines but the others either have too much advertising, focus on one subject (like investments, stocks, etc), try to do nothing but sell you other franchises and other services, or are only useful to a narrow set of business models. Try this one. You'll definitely benefit and enjoy the read.

I have been reading Inc. for the past 3 years. I love it. I am currently in business school and I am taking a lot of entrepreneurship classes. I have been surprised how often the articles have been relevant to cases and discussions in school. I would highly recommend this magazine to anyone interested in entrepreneurship or who is working in or running a small business.

Inc. has accomplished what I believe to be one of the most challenging feats for a modern publication. They have engaged a niche group of enthusiasts without losing anybody in the process. This is an accessible magazine for all entrepreneurs or anyone with a passion to do what they do even better.

The variety of information covered in Inc. allows for an inspiring and informative experience every time I receive my next issue. I have a neat stack of back issues next to my desk. If the March issue isn't entirely relevant to my business today, there is a very good chance that it will be next month.

Buy it. Read it. A+

Love this magazine. It really gets inside the minds of successful small business people and entrepreneurs. Interviews always have interesting questions, which of course, get interesting answers.

Good stuff on pitching, sales, VC, current business climate, and also technology. Each month, it's like sitting down with some of the most successful business people in the country.

got this magazine subscription for my hubbie. he loves the content--good business, e business, tech, etc...

I can't recall exactly what I paid for he subscription, but it was some ridiculously low price for 12 months. Has a good range of articles and some good tips for small business owners. Usual assortment of ads, but for the price, you can't argue :)

I'm a consultant that has been in business for 3 years now and enjoy reading Inc. The articles are enjoyable to read and provide both insight and practical information relative to running your own small business. I highly recommend this magazine for those just starting out.

This is the best magazine for entrepreneurs. It's packed with useful ideas and inspiration. I especially like their profiles of successful entrepreneurs -- and have learned many practical lessons from these.
